    Like the Gold Gloves, the top three finishers in the various award balloting are being pre-announced. For NL Rookie of the Year, finalists Paul DeJong and Josh Ball are going to lose out to Cody Bellinger.

    Update: No Cardinals were named as finalists for MVP, Cy Young Award and Manager of the Year. No surprises there.

    It has been a long time. The Cards’ only NL Rookie of the Year in the last 30 years was Albert Pujols in 2001.

    Again, not a BBWAA award, but Adam Wainwright won the NL Silver Slugger award for pitchers. Per the Cardinals:

    Wainwright, 36, co-led Major League pitchers in RBI (11, Carlos Martinez) and runs scored (7, Zach Davies). He also ranked 1st in batting average (.262) and slugging (.452). He leads active Major League pitchers in career hits (127), RBI (68), doubles (34), and extra base hits (46).

    Corey Kluber and Max Scherzer are the Cy Young Award winners. Both have St. Louis connections. Kluber was a part of the three-team Jake Westbrook trade and Scherzer was a native free agent the Cards passed on.

    Stanton wins NL MVP by just two points over Votto. Interesting and very different votes from StL. Goold had Stanton first; Hummel had him fifth (and Votto fourth) with Blackmon on top. Hummel was one of only two voters to leave Bryant out of his top 10.

    Tommy Pham came in 11th overall. His top individual vote was seventh (not from StL).
